Three Men and Three Horses Shot Down
 in a Fight at Tonto Basin.
 About a week since several COW boys, who had been Tn the employ of the Aztec Land X Cattle Company, left Holbrook, wh re the he; dquar- terS Of the company are, and went south towards rOato B 4Sin to d place called Newion's ranch. While there they heard that an old ranchmaE, 'amrd B!evins, living on Canon Creek, had been missing for two or hree weeks and the residents of the :e'ghborhood suspected foul play. The boys went over to a ranChmar named Graham, and bli"g joined Jy tour men from that place, making cIgh, in all, they went in se:rch of ;he missing man. The next day they reached the residence of one of the lewkesbury'S in Tonto Basin, and Heht up to the place 10 m0ke some mqnIneS egrdIng the man they were m search Ui. A woman came to the door and stated that nons of the men were ln, and alter few words had passed, the ri ght horsemen turned 10 ieavc the place. They had scarcely Iegun to move away, when a volley vas fired from the windows of the house. Two men fell dead from their ,lddles, John Payne and K. M. Gil. Iespie. and a ;hrrd. G. T. Tucker was shot through the body, the ball enter. ing his left side. Three horses were also killed by the same volley. The men could not tell who theIr assall- lnts were, and, as the enemy were completely protected, the remaining .Ix of the party could do nothing but ride away out Of :he range of the deadly weapons, leaving the dead men and horses on the ground. They made their way 10 Graham's as rapid, ly as they could with the wounded man Tucker, but he died before they reached the ranch.
 From information brought by a man who leit Graham's ranch on Wednesday, party had started from there to recover the dead bodies of Payne and Gillespie. To do so they would have to go within thirty yards of the house. No information of this expedition has been heard, but it is feared that further bloodshed may have ensued.

THE UNION DEPOT.
A Handsome and Commodious Structure to be Built by the Atlantic & Pa
 ciHc Rnilroad Comnany


 The business men and residents of Flagstaff will be pleased to hear that at the last the Atlantic and Pacinc railroad company have decided to erect a handsome and commodious Union depot here and operations will be commenced as soon as the neces- sary material can be laid on the ground.
 MT. ]. H. Scott, the general man. ager of the road, arrived here on Tuesday evening and in an interview with representative of the CHAMPION informed him that all of the property owners on the south side, with the ex, Ception of two, had signed the leases which the company had made a con dition of their proceeding with the erection of the proposed depot build ings, and that the company lad now decided to proceed with the work.
 The new buildings which will be of lumber, will be erected near the present box car offices, between the main line and the side track running north of it. It will be the best built and largest depot on the line of road furnishing sufficient accommodation for the offices and freight departments of the A. & P. road, the Mineral Belt and the Grand Canon road, when the latter Is completed.
 It will be from a month to six weeks before the work will be actually commenced and this delay IS caused by the burning of the Arizona Lum Der company's null, which makes it impossible to get the dressed lumber here before that time.
 It is satisfactory to know that the matter is finally settled and that the work will be pushed forward with all possible speed. Within a few months we shall have a depot completed ade- quate to the growing population of Flagstaff and Its rapidly developing business interests.

EUGERroN DIssENTs.
He Differs Radically with Mr.. ObeTiY's Civil
SefVlce Reform Views.

Civil Service Commissioner Edgerton,
who has returned TO Washington, was asked
by u reporter il his views agreed with those
of Commissioner Oberly, as expressed in
his recent letter to the Illinois Democratic
Association. He replied:
"Hhcy certainly do not l do not be-
ltcvC in extreme or strained constructions
of the civil service law. These State Or
CARNATIONS have as much right to exist as
they ever had. There is nothing in the
law 10 prohibit it. A man is not deprived
Of the privileges Of citizenship because he
holds public office, and ] think the idea
that n man should abardon his residence in
State or his citizenship when he takes
oiltcc i'll Washington is prcposterous. The
Legislative power Is above US all, and If the
law IS to bG applied so as to deprive men of
their rights rs citizens the danger is that a
demand will be made upon the legislative
power to wipe it out. There is no neces.
sity for anything Of the sort. The law is
all right, and it only needs TO be construed
III accordance with common sense and
practical experience.
"NO, sir; l do not agree with Commits.
Sioncr Obcrly and l do not sec how he is
going to reconcile his present views with
these expressed in the Seeberger report
signed by Commissioners Oberly and Ly-
man. In that report they said Of Mir.
Webster, the dismissed clerk:
Strong political views Webster had q
wight to entertain, and during the time he
held public place it was his right to give,
Mt proper times, strong expression to those
views. The CpintoI is not TO be tolerated
that because MAJ occupies place i'm the
classified civil service he must therefore
surrender his right to take an interest in
the politics Of the country. No good citi-
zen Will do 50, ana no degree OF activity

provided his partisan activity in no way

secure in tho service of the government the

| cupy Il place the discharge Of the duties OF
which affects public politics.
'Now, sir, if it is right and commend

administration and at proper times to Civ,
strong expressions to those views, why is i
